I will be that guy: Emacs can be used with the GUI and terminal with more or less the same experience.

It is one of many features that makes me stick with it

There are a few pitfalls to that, for example you need a special incantation to enable terminal-mode mouse support. And if you try to use GUI-oriented features in the terminal, the UI is clunky and not really optimized to the standards of actual TUI widgets.

Thanks, I've never even looked at emacs to be honest. I'll give it a try.

You could start from the RHIDE interface, that's still maintained as part of the FreeDOS extras. That's basically a variety of the old DOS text-mode programming environments.

Yeah I know Rhide! I didn't know it was still maintained, I thought it was deprecated in 2002.

It used to peg my cpu to 100% though back in the day when I used it. Hope they fixed that.

But I'd love something more modern.

Thank's for your comment . with X11 you can launch remotely , or I don't understand.
